This is a love story about Ogawa Manami, a high school teacher who grew up in a strict family, and Kaworu, a host who is not good at reading and writing, as they search for love despite the obstacles they face. Manami is being pressured to marry a man she met through her father's introduction, and the high school where she works is also facing a crisis of class collapse. She spends her days lamenting, "I want to run away from this place." One day, she receives a call saying that a student has been deceived by an unscrupulous host, and she rushes to the store to bring the female student back, where she meets Kaworu. Kaworu has to sign a promissory note promising not to contact the student in the future, and Manami finds out about the problem that he had kept secret from anyone until then. In the play, the two gradually become closer through Manami's secret "private lessons," in which she teaches Kaworu about language and society.

An ordinary senior high school girl named Mika meets Hiro, a showy boy with dyed hair and pierced ears. It is a “pure love” story of the two going through many unimaginably sad incidents while nurturing their love single-mindedly. It not only depicts the first love of the senior high school couple but also weaves “a story of Mika and Hiro” through episodes probably familiar to anybody, such as warmth and affection of their family members supporting the two, the importance of living, interactions with friends, and so on.

watching no call no life reminded me so much of koizora, not strictly plot wise but more broadly in terms of feels.. which seemed really similar

Both are touching but beautiful love stories and both makes you cry a river over them. Both are school romance, but as you can see in Koizora they are not the fun kind of romance, they include "heavy romance". Kou Kou Kyoushi was even heavier. In my opinion, Kou Kou Kyoushi was unforgettable and better than Koizora. So you should see it before you die.

A summer hit in HK, this romantic fantasy from Jingle Ma is shamelessly manipulative, incredibly cheesy, and totally sappy. It goes to extreme lengths to yank your chains and push your buttons...and it works. Amazingly, this manufactured piece of sap is also an entertaining, compelling movie. An HK version of Ghost and Always, Fly Me to Polaris stars Richie Ren as Onion, a blind-mute who’s in love with his nurse Autumn (Cecilia Cheung). Before any feelings can be exchanged, he dies in a Meet Joe Black kinda way and proceeds to win a celestial contest. This flimsy plot device states he can have one wish - which he uses to live again. They deny him that, but give him the opportunity to return for one week.

Both are touching but beautiful love stories and both makes you cry a river over them. Both are school romance, but as you can see in Koizora they are not the fun kind of romance, they include "heavy romance". Majo no Jouken was even heavier. In my opinion, Majo no Jouken was unforgettable and better than Koizora. So you should see it before you die.
